Fortunately, the captain's expression soon improved a little, because from another direction, a top constable from the Six Gates came rushing over with the same gloomy face.
He and the captain gathered together and whispered a few words. Then the captain stood in front of the stage again and said loudly, "There have been many unexpected events recently. The Imperial Astronomical Observatory has detected that someone in the southeastern sea area is undergoing the Martial Saint Tribulation. We need to go there immediately to determine the location and who this person is.
"The imperial court's reward is on the way. For the time being, we can directly appoint him as the lord of a state. Subsequent rewards will require that person to communicate with the people in Kyoto.
"Our task now is to find the location of that person as quickly as possible.
"Now I will briefly report on the situation reported by various places.
"There is a flickering light in Wuyi Immortal Mountain. It seems that an immortal has appeared, and it seems that a powerful being is cultivating there.
"At the mouth of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, a member of the Imperial Guard reported seeing a humanoid creature who had achieved the status of a demon saint. They were retrieving dragon treasures from that area. Their identity is difficult to determine."
"A captain of the silver medal constable and a centurion have gone to investigate, but no news has come back yet."
…
Various information was exchanged and summarized quickly. The people who could gather here were still some capable people who were not rotten to the core.
There are still a group of truly capable people. In this urgent and highest-level call, many people want to show their talents in order to gain the favor of the court and the people in Kyoto, and thus rise to prominence.
Yu Zhifu knew some of the situation overseas. Seeing that the centurions and silver-medal constables were collecting information from all over the place, he also stepped forward to prevent others from taking all the credit.
"I was traveling overseas a few days ago and discovered a strange area. Any creature that entered it would likely die."
The captain nodded in agreement, then casually ordered, "Use the talisman immediately to contact the responsible person in that area and confirm that area."
The wait was not too long. After all, the Five Saints were undergoing tribulation. If the approximate direction could be determined, the Jinyiwei and Liushenmen's intelligence capabilities would enable them to determine the direction quickly. In addition, by using talismans at all costs, the group soon determined their location.
"In the East China Sea, above the East China Sea!"
"There's a large area of ocean over there covered in leaden clouds, as if the apocalypse has arrived. Many fishermen have already noticed something unusual, and someone reported it an hour ago!"
"Why didn't you say so earlier?"
"The weather at sea is constantly changing and unpredictable!"
"Yu Zhifu, Wang Lin, Zhang Mo...you will go with me. The rest of you will continue to maintain the situation. Report any changes immediately."
The captain of the Embroidered Uniform Guard moved quickly. After two rounds of simple verification, he confirmed that there was something unusual in that area, and that the thunder was endless and extremely terrifying.
He immediately set off with several people around him who had reached the Grandmaster level.
As for Yu Zhifu, he hasn't reached the Grandmaster realm on the surface, but he is a descendant of the Yu family, and he went along to visit and also to gain some experience.
There's nothing we can do. There are people at home and above us.
On the other side, the golden captain of the Six Gates was also following beside him. The whole group of people were in a hurry, and they felt as if a mountain was pressing down on their hearts.
Only after they were far away from the city and sure they wouldn't be detected by the formation did they relax a little. The leading captain frowned and asked, "Any more news? How could someone suddenly become a Martial Saint?"
"Is it the Sword King Shi Kaitai? Or is it the Sword God Huang Guqi?"
The two names he mentioned are both well-known top figures in the Fuzhou area, and both have made great strides in the master realm.
“Who knows, but it’s certain that it wasn’t them. The Sword King was injured when he was fighting with others. He has been in a slump for so many years and has had difficulty in getting out of this situation.
"As for Sword God Huang Guqi, he has been declining day by day since he defected from the Yulin Sword Sect. Many elders of the Yinghuang Sword Sect he joined have been fighting each other, and the Yinghuang Sword Sect has been torn apart.
"Huang Guqi benefited greatly from this and obtained the most advanced inheritance, but the secrets of the Sword Saint were never revealed to him. Now his strength is even more terrifying, but his momentum is far less than before."
"Who is that?"
"I can't tell."
Yu Zhifu hid in the crowd, not saying much, listening to the captain of the Jinyiwei and the top detective of the Liushenmen commenting on the top figures in Fuzhou and even the two neighboring states in a few words.
In fact, before arriving at the scene, no one could have imagined that it was a dragon undergoing a tribulation.
While everyone was speculating, the latest and fastest news came from the sea.
"It's confirmed. The place where the tribulation is being carried out is in that sea area. The one undergoing the tribulation is not a human, but a dragon!"
"What?"
The expressions of the two leading masters changed. They did not expect such a development.
"The power of the demon race has long been declining in recent years. Not to mention the demon saints, even the demons at the level of grandmasters who can reach the unity of heaven and man are hard to come by. How could a demon saint suddenly appear?"
"It's not the time for abundant water resources recently. If a dragon wants to become a demon saint, shouldn't it lie dormant quietly underwater, waiting for the arrival of a flood, and then use the power of heaven and earth to break through that threshold?"
"Any updates?"
"There's no way to get too close. The demon saint's tribulation wave is too terrifying. Even within a ten-mile radius, we can't get close."
The two top leaders of the Jinyiwei and the Liushenmen looked at each other, with confusion in their eyes.
